Ribes sanguineum

How's the smell? 😁😁

@ublaszko between this and the alliums/chives, I’m holding my breath as I walk in certain parts of the garden 😝

😁😁 I actually like the smell but I'm aware that it's an acquired taste 😜 I don't like alliums though 😷 even though I love eating onion and garlic. It's just when you dig around alliums they give of a whiff 😂😂

@ublaszko I just keep wondering where a cat has been 😂 even for a small plant it’s a strong scent! Garlic and onions are lovely but alliums are potent little things 😂 they’re the only unmarked pots I could be sure about, they stink 🤣

😂😂😂 I think I'm immune to the smell of cat pee or something. I have a very sensitive sense of smell but flowering currants smell lovely to me. Bitter but lovely!

@ublaszko I think it’s the bitterness I can’t get used to, acrid. But then I don’t smell a lot of things properly 😜

@gjones it smells a lot like cat pee unfortunately 😂 but some people don’t mind it 😜

Looking well & promising looking flower buds too 👍

@jeatacake thank you Jeff ☺️ it’s a really pretty little shrub. The colours are fantastic!
